Fun with gift packs…

One of my regular clients, Cliff Lede, asked me to photograph some wine bottle gift packs they were offering for the holidays. The instructions were to do standard shots on a white background, and normally these would be straight shots, like 2 bottles standing up next the gift box, or bag, or any other packaging that might go along with them.

In this case I decided to have just a little fun with it. Instead of putting the two bottles next to the leather case, all standing, I put one in the bag and one next to it and played with the focus a bit, with total sharpness really only falling on the label of the standing bottle, and even then, it is only truly sharp on the middle-right of the bottle. I liked the affect and the look, and the good news was so did my client!
